DJI Dock 2 (Dock Only)
DJI Dock 2 (Dock Only)
The DJI Dock 2 is a drone in a box designed for remote and automated drone deployments.
It is compatible with two drones: The DJI Matrice 3D and the DJI Matrice 3TD.
The DJI M3D is designed for high-precision mapping - representing DJI's first dedicated docking station for survey-grade mapping.
The DJI M3TD has RGB and thermal sensors, making it ideal for operations such as public safety, security, and inspection.
Deploy the DJI Dock with cloud-based software platform DJI FlightHub 2 and benefit from features such as Cloud Mapping, which automatically generates 3D models upon mission completion.
DJI Dock 2 supports third-party software, such as FlytBase and Drone Harmony.
DJI Dock 2 is smaller and more lightweight than the original DJI Dock.
As a DJI Dock 2 partner, heliguy™ can help you integrate it into your workflows, including OSC support, survey assistance, and site assessments.

DJI Dock 2: Easy Deployment In All Weathers
- Lightweight: DJI Dock 2 weighs 35kg and can transported by two people, enabling flexible installation and reduces installation costs.
- Efficient Site Evaluation: Before deployment, the aircraft can detect the surrounding environment using vision sensors and determine whether there is strong GNSS signals in the area. This helps to accelerate site selection.
- IP55 Rating: The Dock 2's IP55 dust and water resistance rating ensures it operates for extended periods of time, even in harsh climates and environments.
- Environmental Monitoring: Integrated sensors, including rainfall, wind speed, and temperature gauges, perceive real-time weather changes. Receive timely warnings or terminate flight tasks using DJI FlightHub 2.
- Improved Landing Stability: Using next-gen image recognition technology, the aircraft identifies positioning markers on the Dock's landing pad. The Dock's new slide-ramp centering design further supports precise landing.
- Built-in Backup Battery: The built-in battery enables the Dock 2 to operate independently for more than five hours, with sufficient time for the drone to return and land.
- Six-Month Maintenance Interval: DJI Dock 2 only requires maintenance approximately every six months.
-
Abnormal Condition Notifications: Receive email notifications from DJI FlightHub 2 if the DJI Dock 2 and the aircraft encounter task failures or emergencies.

Round-The-Clock Operations
- Quick Takeoff: DJI Dock 2 features dual RTK antennas, allowing the aircraft to obtain accurate RTH location information without needing an RTK fix. A propeller inspection can be completed in 45 seconds.
- Rapid Charging: After the aircraft lands back at base, the Dock 2 can charge the drone from 20% to 90% in 32 minutes. This is perfect for continuous operations and ensuring the drone is ready for missions on-demand.
- Dual-Camera Monitoring: DJI Dock 2 features an internal and external fisheye camera for real-time displays. Remotely observe weather conditions, environmental circumstances, and the aircraft's take-off and landing.
DJI FlightHub 2: Cloud-based Operation
- Cloud Mapping: After the drone completes its mission, DJI FlightHub 2 generates a high-precision 3D model based on the flight data. Models can be annotated, measured, and downloaded.
- Flight Route Editor: Use 3D models for visual flight route editing and preview simulated imaging results.
- AI Spot-check: Frame a specific area in the 3D model and the drone will compare the area to be captured with the framed area in subsequent automated operations. This ensures repeatable data across multiple flights.
- FlyTo Tasks: Use 3D models to automatically plan optimal flight routes. Click on the subject and the aircraft will fly to the destination.
- Live Flight Controls: With FlightHub 2 or third-party software, control the drone and gimbal remotely from a remote location.
- Model Comparison: Compare side-by-side models to track project progress over time.
- Obstacle Bypass: During automatic flights, the drone uses its omnidirectional sensing and automatic bypass functions to enhance flight tasks.
Open Ecosystem
- Private Deployment With Cloud API: Tailor a customised management system for DJI Dock 2 with Cloud API or quickly connect it to a third-party cloud platform, such as FlytBase or Drone Harmony, to facilitate efficient and convenient private deployment.
- Third-party Payloads: Connect to third-party payloads to the drone and control them via cloud-based software. The drone can also integrate with a parachute (available separately).
- Edge Computing: DJI Dock 2 has an edge computing expansion interface that enables the pre-processing of media files and more to improve operational efficiency further.
- Cloud-to-Cloud Coordination: Through DJI FlightHub 2's FlightHub Sync function, users can easily link it to a third-party cloud platform for flexible management of operation data.
- DJI TerraAPI: Integrate the powerful mapping capabilities of DJI Terra into your dock management systems. This enables automated 2D/3D reconstruction and customised photo mapping workflows.
DJI Dock 2 Vs DJI Dock
DJI Dock 2 comes with some key upgrades compared to the original DJI Dock.
- Smaller Footprint: Dock 2 weighs 34kg compared to DJI Dock's 105kg. This makes Dock 2 easier to transport and better suited for roof deployments.
- Longer Flight Time/Greater Range: The M3D/M3TD can fly for 50 minutes and has an operation radius of 10km, while the M30 Series for DJI Dock fly for 40 minutes and a 7km operating radius. This is a 25% improvement in flight time and 43% improvement in operating radius
- More Capability: With the DJI M3D, DJI Dock 2 provides an advanced high-precision mapping solution. DJI Dock mainly deployed for security patrol and inspection.
- Smarter Functions: DJI M3D drones automatically bypass obstacles during flight. M30 drones for DJI Dock can only hover or return to start when obstacles are encountered.
- More Reliable: DJI Dock 2 features a slide-ramp centering design and wireless charging. Dock 1 has push-rod centering and contact charging. DJI Dock 2 is easier to maintain.
- Faster Takeoff: DJI Dock 2 can take-off without waiting for an RTK fix. DJI Dock 1 must wait for RTK to be fixed.
- Precise Landing: DJI Dock 2 has next-gen image recognition technology for a more precise landing. DJI Dock mainly relies on RTK for landing.
